( it may be larger, but it is facing two opponents who are well-versed in taking apart beasts such as it. their swords sever muscles necessary for its limbs to move properly, effectively hobbling it. it bleeds freezing blood from sizable wounds on both sides, and even though it continues to thrash its head and tail back and forth, they seem to be the throes of a creature that knows a bad fate has befallen it.
as lady maria seizes the opportunity and plunges her sword into the wound that wolf's flame vent had opened up. the salamander can't even seem to find the energy in it to roar; it simply splutters, a horrible wet sound bubbling in each breath. to wolf, it seems to him that its posture is broken, which means that it's time for him to end this.
he runs at the salamander, leaping up onto a bleeding foreleg and then again onto its shoulder, the keen edge of kusabimaru opening up a bleeding path around the amphibian's neck as he made his way onto its back. he can feel the cold radiating off of the creature from the contact as he stands on it, but it doesn't stop him; he brings his katana up and then drives it down into the top of the beast's skull. a "death blow," as it were — just gotta do the sekiro mechanics.
one last, gurgling breath escapes the salamander before it collapses under him. he pulls his katana free and jumps away from the corpse, which is a good thing, because standing for too long on it might have given him frostbite.
